Tribal Education Departments National Assembly
Attorney: Amy Bowers

The Tribal Education Departments National Assembly continues to grow as a leading policy and advocacy membership based Indian education organization. TEDNA's membership has identified securing funding sources for Tribal Education Departments as an organization priority. TEDNA worked with the Tribal Budget Advisory Committee to add a line item for Tribal Education Departments to the Tribal Priority Allocation. TEDNA has also continued its work to secure direct Tribal Education Department appropriations.

TEDNA has also began discussions with its membership and partner organizations to prepare for the reauthorization of the No Child Left Behind Act.

Finally, the TEDNA Board of Directors met in September 2009 to develop fundraising strategies and organizational goals.
